An engaging slow-paced story about a hardworking farming family who soon learns that the bank suddenly decided to foreclose on their property. It amply generates interest at the beginning but toward the end, it loses much of its spunk. Jessica Lange and Sam Shepard are surprisingly good in their roles.
